About the author:

My research focuses on children’s emotional and behavioural adjustment, with a specific emphasis on how family (parents, siblings) and peer relationships shape child development.  I use longitudinal birth cohort and intervention data to better understand factors influencing children’s adjustment over time, especially those that promote wellbeing following adversity. Additionally, I have a strong interest in quantitative methods for analysing longitudinal data.

What I want to achieve:

The overall aim of my research is to inform intervention strategies and policies designed to promote children’s wellbeing, particularly for children at risk of emotional or behavioural difficulties.
